Create a Safe Profile For Online Dating

Online Dating is a very popular way to meet people and to date. There are, however, dangers to online dating. Creating a safe profile is one of the keys to staying safe.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Do not put your contact information in your profile such as your email, phone number or address. If you need to talk to someone online try to use a messaging tool such as MSN, Yahoo, or AOL.

  2. Step 2

    If you have children do not talk about your children in your profile. Although people may be interested to know if you have kids or not, it is not wise to tell anyone about your kids until you feel comfortable with the person.

  3. Step 3

    Do not disclose how much money you make in your profile. Even though it is possible to meet good people online, there are men and women out there who want to take advantage of people.

  4. Step 4

    When posting a picture of yourself remember that the people looking at that picture will judge you on it. Select the picture you think works well for what you want to get out of online dating. Load pictures that you think may appeal to the kind of people you want to meet.
